XE= a cheap way of getting a good amount of power, some love the power of the XE while others prefer the power of a highly tuned 16XE.

The XE Normally makes the handling of a corsa b worse than a 16XE due to the extra weight of the XE.

IMO i think an XE in a Corsa B is a very good mod and is getting more and more popular.

As for the Ecotec its really not worth it. They go into a Corsa C easier.

fitting an ecotec in a b, is just as easy do doing an xe conversion, same mounts, shafts etc etc

wiring all the same, bar a tiny bit extra for the imob..


only way it would be difficult, is if it was a flyby throttle one #


here's on i prepared earlier

Ecotec is newer isn't it, so could be an advantage.

I'm sure Nick will prove me wrong, he always does
